rancho must not have the file on their website anymore, but a quick search gave me this which has the links you need
http://www.pirate4x4.com/forum/showthread.php?s=&threadid=27926&highlight=offset+spring+length+rancho
or, here are the links directly
http://www.sweetcj7.com/web_dev/leaf_spring_specifications.htm
and
http://www.gorancho.com/documents03/03_suspension.pdf
you'll need to cross reference the part numbers to find the vehicle the springs come from.

Thats exactly the kind of spring info I'm looking for, except their application listing is full of holes. They don't list the p/n for the leaf springs for most of the applications, so you can't cross reference it.

you should be able to use the two documents together to get the info you want. For instance if you cross reference RS44044 to Rancho's website you would find that is a lift spring for waggy's, as we all know. not sure why you can't do the rest this way???

Sure, they have the waggy springs listed, but look up the rear springs for an '82 GM 1-ton, or an '89 F250. The spring "set" p/n is listed, but not the p/n for the springs themselves, which is what the spec chart has listed. The app chart is full of holes.

here's another site for you. http://www.tennessee4x4.com/toyota/misc__spring_information.htm
I know what you're sayng about the two doc's now. i remember this from when I was researching as well. I do know that I personally have documents that have the various spring lengths. I know I got these by searching various posts for offset spring dimensions. I have no scanner or way of posting the material that I have but you should be able to find all the info you need by searching. I am pretty sure it use to be on rancho's website. Maybe you could call them and see if they have such a document. I know it is all in one or two places somewhere because I found it before. Good Luck.
BTW, what are you looking for and maybe I can look at my info and help with that.
